Why this is wrong on so many levels...
First of all, Ben Bailey is nothing short of THE MAN. Doing anything that might detract from his success as a game show host and tv personality (i.e. creating the exact same show without him as the host and putting it in one of his time-slots therefore lowering his viewership) is a sin. Whichever employee at the Discovery Channel came up with this bright idea is going straight to hell.
Second of all, take a look at the picture above. No, your eyes don't deceive you... that is a female. As if the fact of getting in a cab with a woman behind the wheel wasn't scary enough, she's not even fully concentrating on the road. Half of her attention is directed towards asking the passengers trivia questions while she's driving. I hope the Discovery Channel has a lot of insurance... cuz I don't expect many of these contestants to walk away with their lives. If by some miracle of God she doesn't kill her passengers immediately upon leaving the curb, how do they expect people to answer these questions correctly? Have you ever tried to answer random trivia questions when you're facing the possibility of being slaughtered at any second in a massive fiery car crash? I haven't. I can only assume you'd have as much success at answering those questions as this guy is having answering Samuel L. Jackson's questions...
And finally, if somehow... just SOMEHOW... you can get past the fact that you are being driven around in a 2 ton death machine by someone with two x chromosomes, how can you be certain that the answers she is giving are even correct?! We all know that a woman's brain is 1/3 the size of a man's... that's just science. Literally no disputing that fact. So how could you trust that when she tells you that you answered a question incorrectly that you ACTUALLY answered it incorrectly. Just too much doubt for my liking.
In my humble and honest opinion, this television show needs to be removed from regular programming immediately and all evidence that it ever existed destroyed. Honestly, they coulda just asked Ben Bailey to do both shows. The guy could easily cover both cities without a problem.

This show is just chaos. Bottom line is that people will die. That is not something i can stand for. I'm going to do the right thing and send discovery and e-mail expressing my concern. that should take care of it so you don't have to worry any longer.
